  • Publication number: 20020006565
    Abstract: An electrophotography photoconductor has a conductive substrate and an anodic oxidation layer on which a photoconductive layer is formed. The sealed surface of the anodic oxidation has an admittance ranging from 0.4 S/m2 to 30 S/m2 and a contact angle of pure water ranging 30° to 80°. The surface of the anodic oxidation layer is sealed by dipping it into a nickel acetate solution. The contact angle and the admittance are determined depending on a temperature of the nickel acetate solution and a sealing time. In the case where the sealed surface is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the heat-resisting property and cleanliness are improved.

  • Patent number: 6051357
    Abstract: An electrophotography photoconductor has a conductive substrate and an anodic oxidation layer on which a photoconductive layer is formed. The sealed surface of the anodic oxidation has an admittance ranging from 0.4 S/m.sup.2 to 30 S/m.sup.2 and a contact angle of pure water ranging 30.degree. to 80.degree.. The surface of the anodic oxidation layer is sealed by dipping it into a nickel acetate solution. The contact angle and the admittance are determined depending on a temperature of the nickel acetate solution and a sealing time. In the case where the sealed surface is irradiated with ultraviolet rays, the heat-resisting property and cleanliness are improved.
